Tourists ran away after saving their lives in Europe’s most active “Mount Etna Volcano” in Italy

Sicily, Italy: Mount Etna, considered the most active and dangerous in Europe in Italy, has a terrible explosion. Lava, ash and smoke are reaching far away from the bursting of the volcano. After this great explosion, tourists had to run away from the spot after saving their lives. On seeing this, the ash, smoke and hot lava emanating from the volcano spread to miles. Many tourists have also made videos and photos of it.

The terrible explosion caused vibrations in the earth

The Sun According to the report of Mount Etna volcano was so terrible that the earth trembled. According to local officials, a part of the south-eastern crater of the volcano probably collapsed, causing this strong explosion. Along with this, fierce vibrations and frequent explosions created an atmosphere of fear.

Lava burst like a fountain with a sharp explosion

The lava emanating from the volcano erupted like a fountain. Its warm rocks and poisonous gases spread far in the area. Due to this, flights of aircraft were postponed at the nearest Katania Airport. An intense vibrations were felt before the volcanic explosion, which began around 10 pm and reached its peak three hours later.

From “code red” to “orange” alert

Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Tools (VAAC) first released the “Code Red” for the blast, which was converted to “Orange Alert” a few hours later. The organization said that the clouds of ash are mainly made of water and sulfur dioxide, which are flowing towards the south-west direction. This can pose a risk of raining towards the population. Hot lava, vulgar water and sulfur dioxide can also occur with ash.

Explosions happening since Saturday night

Italy’s National Geophysics and Volcanic Institute (INGV) confirmed, “Since last Saturday night, there have been continuous stromboleon explosions, whose intensity is increasing continuously and is currently highly powerful.” It was also said that “the activity of the explosion from the Southeast Crater has now turned into a lava fountain and the level of vibration is very high.”

Volcano has erupted earlier

Mount Etna’s previous major explosion occurred in May, while in February 2024, the hot lava and fire from this volcano turned the entire mountain into a burning peak. At that time many towns were covered with a sheet of black volcanic ash.
